Nitinol Shape Memory Alloy – Classification and Application |
Nitinol A type of functional material known as shape memory alloy has excellent strength, corrosion resistance and biocompatibility. It is also non-toxic. There are promising medical applications. It can only be deformed by Nitinol in its low temperature phase and then restored to the original shape by adding 20-300 degrees Celsius. It can expand at more than 20%, has an average fatigue life of up to 107 years, and its damping characteristics is better than most. Nitinol Wire classification
